RIVERS Don't know why I have been forgetting to tell you about the new road up Howard's Knob. It ii going to be ? real nice im provement when it is finished. There are ever to many ways to get on it . . . from the Juna luska Road, up Grand Boule vard and out by the Agle'a home, or from Etttbrook or | West brook Drive which meet | above Johnny and Becky Coun clll's Jome It ia amazing, even now, to ait on our front porah {and see the ear* going up and down the mountain. I'm sure it will be heavily traveled when it is surfaced, and it ia anoth er big step' forward in Boone's progress. I had fun Thursday afternoon going through the new house that Carolyn and Latta Johnson built in the new Blalrmort de velopment overlooking the Boone Golf Course. It is an ex tra large houae of pink antique brick with white Pontalba wrought iron trim, and it was , designed and decorated by the Johnsons. Carolyn took time out of her busy life to take me on the tour and I appreciate it very much. We entered the den in which they used exotic birch panel ing, parkay floor and have a Heatolator fire place of the pink antique brick. Beyond the fireplace is a wall with dozens of shelves for books, antiques, television and hi-fi set. An un usual feature of this room is the recessed ceiling Mr. John son figured out so they could use a beautiful antique china chandelier with crystal prisms, which Carolyn has owned many years. From the den we entered the dining and living rooms. The walls of these rooms as well as the foyer are in silver green with deeper green wall to wall carpet. A solid cherry Pennsyl vania House breakfront, ere . denza, chaira and an antique , drop leaf table that once be , longed to Carolyn's great grand . father, Henry Blair, are used in , the dining room. They have blended tradition al and antique furniture very , nicely in the extra large living room, and I especially liked the foyer where they used a most I unusual tall lamp on a solid i :herry chest with marble xop ?nd a lovely old mirror above the chest. Opposite this is a small chair in an orential de sign and just inside the front loor is a beautiful solid copper planter. All are antiques, of course, and an Italian hand blown glass fixture hangs from the ceiling. In the hall leading into the bedroom wing from the foyer are spacious guest and linen closets. One guest bedrom is done in soft rose-beige with matching carpet, green bed spreads and draperies, and a solid cherry Italian Provincial suite. The other guest bedroom has soft gold walls, carpet and drapes. A French Provincial suite with twin beds and a small antique chair in deep gold vel vet are used In this room. The adjoining bath is done in soft green ceramic tile, fixtures and floor . . . and the bath tub is glass enclosed . . . the way all bath tubs should be installed. Hours and hours of planning must have gone into the master bedroom, which is tremendous in size. Both the Johnsons have large walk-in closets in addition to a medicine cabinet and a pocket book and shoe closet in Carolyn's dressing room. The walls are done in robin-ege blue, peacock blue wall to wall carpet and the draperies are in panels of blue and soft green. Heirloom spreads are used on the white French Provincial double beds with gold trim. The overhead light fixture is in the shape of a antique picture frame . . . first one I ever saw. The bath, which can be entered through the bedroom or Caro lyn's dressing room, is done in the same robin-egg blue, tur quoise tile and fixtures with a shaded ceramic tile floor. In addition to the large round lavatory built into a long cabi net, they have a dental lava tory . . . and this is the first one I ever saw in a residence. I'm sure it i* a nice addition to the bath. All baths have slid ing glaas doors, and I . forgot^ one of the prettiest things of all . . . the swivel white orna mental antique lamp* over Carolyn's dressing table. Moat unusual! Space won't permit me to finish this week, but I'll take you through my favorite rooms next week. I am saddened over the death of Pem Bobbins Rainey, who died Friday after a long illness in Blowing Rock. I had known Pem since we both were young and I was very fond of her. She was a mighty nice person and will be greatly missed! I am looking forward to my visit with both of you this week ... In fact, I am real ex cited about it. Love always, Mom April 29, 1963. Notice To Our Contributors Many articles which should have appeared In the Demo crat today had to be publish ed in abbreviated form or de ferred to a later edition, due to the fact that the material came to the composing room too late to be handled. Since the Democrat is made up Tuesday afternoon so that an early Wednesday morning mailing may be carried out, Tuesday must necessarily be given to the more pressing spot news stories. This week so much material was with held until late Tuesday, that we couldn't conceivably han dle everything. We appreciate more than we can tell the cooperation of our contributors who help so magnificently with the Demo crat, but must ask that art icles not be held till Tuesday, when often they could be sup plied almost a week earlier. Your help will be appreciated. More Society On Page Eight
